rofl, I'm still unclear whether or not Phil Anselmo was referring to Spider-Man appearing in The Avengers or the actual Spider-Man film coming out shortly. My response was in regards to the latter, but all of the following responses relate to my misguided response. Oops

it would sure be nice if Sony slacked on Spidey and the rights went back to Marvel where they belong, so we could see him possibly in like Avengers 3, since he joined up with the Avengers after a while.

I know how it works. Point is if Sony was willing to sell the rights, they would've forgotten about the reboot and sold the rights to Paramount/Disney who would pay megabucks to get "The Avengers Meet Spiderman" on screens.

The "development hell" thing was accidental hyperbole. You're right, Wright likes to take his time, but it is moving along. Whatever. Lots of websites have been using the term so I instinctively did.

If you know how it works and think you know what's going on, then explain why Sony were forced to sell back the merchandising rights to Spider-Man last November in a joint deal with Disney? I'd love to hear it.

With their company deep in the red, it really is just a matter of time before they sell off the film rights to Spider-man to go back in the positive.

but aren't they developing a sequel already with Sony's subsidary company Columbia Pictures? I don't get their game in this when Disney has a stratagem to connect the 'universes' of each Marvel character from this point on. Though you could argue Spiderman should be a seperate series from the likes of Avengers... Either way the rights should fall in the very capable hands of Marvel/Disney.

Not really odd at all when there's a wealth of actual Avengers material to be elaborated on without having an on-off member steal the focus of an otherwise balanced team. Eventually, sure, immediately is just a waste, if there was crossing I'd rather see the likes of Beast.

Went to see it for a second time tonight. I'm pretty sure that easter egg about the Hulk reflection isn't there because I paid close attention. The reflection is unclear but it's not Hulk. Well maybe I just missed it.

I appreciated the special effects the second time around moe. And how badass Hulk was, literally just tearing shit up. This film is so good. You've got a game on your hands, Batman.

Yeah it isn't there. People just wishing. I saw it in IMAX and I know what scene they are talking about and that didn't happen.
